France and Germany are part of a shared civilisation but it didn't stop them from going to war with each other four times between 1800 and 1950
Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

So interesting listening to the start of this on notions that the Egyptians who built the pyramids were not African but a ‘new race’ formulated by Petri, who was a eugenicist thinker. Reminds me of Garrett Harding in my field of ecology/geog with his eugenics rooted “tragedy of the commons”.
Great discussion with archaeologist David Wengrow @davidwengrow.bsky.social on the origins of archaeology & how the European encounter with differently organized societies (Africa, Australasia, the Americas) presented a huge challenge to their own rigid hierarchies.

“Corrupt” doesn’t really characterize this level of crime. Corrupt is like some official taking a few bills in a bag. We need new words for this level of heinousness.
There is a good term for what is needed to address this though. Nuremberg 2.0. For all of them.

"This is the most shamelessly, brazenly, openly corrupt and compromised government in modern American history and, astonishingly, the person who sits at the center of much of that corruption and compromise isn’t even a member of the government: It’s Jared Cory Kushner, First Son-in-Law." - me
👀 Jared Kushner... Redacted?
The president's son-in-law is at the center of a huge new scandal. Plus: the Trump administration's war on the climate and the Pakistani government's war on Imran Khan's health.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
